The EUR/USD pair is trading around 1.1740. In the first half of last year, the euro showed strong gains, appreciating by more than 15.0% at its peak. However, since the beginning of summer, the sharp upward momentum has slowed, and the pair has been confined for an extended period to a narrow range of 1.1600–1.1800, near multi-year local highs. The key driver has been the divergence in monetary policy paths between the European Central Bank (ECB) and the U.S. Federal Reserve. The ECB has effectively paused its dovish cycle, keeping borrowing costs above market expectations, while the U.S. regulator continues to signal a more prolonged period of rate cuts.

The FTSE 100, the leading index of the London Stock Exchange, is showing sideways movement near 9,917.0, largely reflecting a pullback in bond yields, while the annual expiry of derivatives contracts has significantly reduced market volatility after investors rotated out of risk assets. Attention is now shifting back to macroeconomic releases and conditions in the debt market—the key drivers that could allow the FTSE 100 to retest and potentially break its annual high of 9,930.0 before the end of the calendar year.
